A very nice beautiful book. I wanted ideas for my artwork, and also just to sit and enjoy the book itself. Beautiful photos of various beach venues. The book arrived in very good condition from the seller, and I'm truly enjoying it for myself and for art inspiration for my paintings.

BEACHES, 100 ULTIMATE ESCAPES is a gorgeous photo-guide to fabulous beaches around the globe. Whether you're looking for possible vacation sites or just daydreaming in the recliner, this 2011 Universe Publishing release will provide hours of viewing pleasure.The beaches featured in the book are divided into categories: 'Fun Beaches;' 'Protected Beaches;' 'Legendary Beaches;' 'Natural Paradises;' 'Sports Beaches' and Unreachable Beaches.' So the reader is introduced to beaches such as Copacabana, Marina di Ravenna, Cape Range, Rabida, Ipanema, Waikiki, Wineglass Bay, Jhonny Cay, Manihi, Bondi Beach, Utah Beach(!), Le Toquet, Venice Beach, Punta Pirulil and Arrecifes.Each beach gets at least a one-page write-up.with an accompanying 'Nearby' blurb and two color photographs. A very few, select beaches - such as Waimea Bay - rate four pages with more text/photographs. The pix are lovely.This is a straight translation of 100 SPIAGGE DA VEDERE NELLA VITA which was published in 2010 so the information is somewhat dated. However, the overall package is wonderfully appealing and gives ample food for (travel) thought. Recommended.

I absolutely love this book - it takes you away whenever you need to get away from a cold state. Pictures are beautiful, book is informative!
